WNJR : On the Lookout for Spoken Word

WNJR can be classified as a diverse radio station; with genres
ranging from Jazz to Hip Hop. Our staff has now been working to expand
the collection of poetry and spoken word in order to add to the
diversity of our station.

Spoken word can be described as expressive
words over a calming melody. It can be relaxing, emotional, and
personal. Spoken word not only allows the artist to channel his emotions
into musical form, but it allows the listener to emotionally connect with
the music as well.

If you know of any good spoken word artists, or if
you are that artist, feel free to email your pieces to passion@wnjr.org.
